New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Hello anyone,
I am new to font and I am studying Graphic Design by DE.
I enjoy the course, however a fundamental understanding on how fonts/types are created is not covered in the degree program.
Could someone please direct me to a book that is thorough about font creation? From paper to computer.
Or if there are short courses in between semesters would be great. I'm based in Sydney, Australia so it would have to be local.
Appreciate any assistance.

There's so such book (yet) but "Designing Type" by Karen Cheng is helpful.

Bringhurst, R. (2004). The Elements of Typographic Style. Point Roberts,WA: Hartley & Marks.
I would also recommend posting this on the Typographic Education board:
